Analysis Of Haben's Life In Eritrean
Profile and Observation:
Haben is a 17-years-old Eritrean pupil. He is originally from Segenayti (South Eritrea). In apperance: he has long, wavey, and dyed hair and with earlings. No visible tatoo.
Signals pointed: (in reference to already the circulated e-mail among colleagues) - Lots of mistrust; had difficult experiences in his migration routes; and he tends to push any help away.
The setting of the talk:
- The talk took place at De Hef in Slaghekstraat 221, 3074 LJ, Rotterdam. Arrived around 11:00 at the school reception, then escorted by people at the reception to Haben’s teacher Ms. Alette Kloek.
- Accompanied by Ms. Kloek, we had to take Haben out in the middle of the lesson.
- The talk with Haben was on a one-on-one basis and

He can draw in/out of conversation at will. Thus, intelligent pupil.
The structure of the talk:
The talk was structured into three phases: in the first round, a lengthy discussion on education and schooling; in the second round, Haben’s life in Eritrea and his migration experiences in Ethiopia, Sudan, Libya, Italy and The NL. Finally, in making concrete plans of what need to be done and how we can both achieve that.

The gist of the first round of the talk: education and schooling [Haben and Nebil]
- When asked on how he was doing at school, Haben replied as follows: “The language is really difficult for me. My problem is not going to school but going to school with “the kids” [his classmates] and not daring to speak up my mind.”
- Haben said: “Until now I have not done anything in relation my schooling, but I will do my best from now onwards. I was upset with my father. We had some issues between us. That is why I was creating problems at the center [KWE] and not doing well at school. And, also they [mentors] sometimes add stress on you.” He earmarked: “But, Monday is a new chapter for

Together, we were able to call my father and the disagreement between me and my father is now sorted. Everything is alright!”
- Curious about the disagreement with his father, I asked back: “What were the reasons for that?” Haben’s reply was: “Nothing serious, he said something over the phone that I did not like and that is how it started. Now, it is dealt.”
- Another concern flagged by Haben is his procedure for family reunification. He is under the impression that the process is lagging behind. By own words: “The IND is asking me for marriage certificates of my parents! Strangely, as if I was the one who got them married. I am unable to get them.” In this particular concern, I advised that these procedures do take time and are complex in nature and all he need is patience and follow up with his legal

    The author of “Against School” John Taylor Gatto believes that during his long career in public schools he didn’t realise that schools are playing any major role in modification of “raw” children except making them childish adults. And the key problem behind the outcome is boredom, it occurs because scholars feel confined in 12 years of “imprisonment”. Gatto thinks that schools can increase the chances of success for their students if they let them make own decisions and take risks when necessary.…

    Fake and gay. Most people would have the same sentiment about the primary and secondary school systems in America. While the argument against the public school system is often presented to the masses in segmented bits and pieces, John Taylor Gatto attacks the meat of the issue in his essay, “Against School.” A retired teacher of thirty years, he engages readers in a conversational dialogue and outlines the ways the educational system fails to address the age-old question: how do I reach these kids? It turns out that the solution is not to try to reach these kids, but to make these kids reach for the knowledge themselves. By differentiating between the definitions of…

    Education has never yet been brought to bear with one-hundredth part of its potential force upon the natures of children, and, through them, upon the character of men and of the race. In all the attempts to reform mankind which have hitherto been made, whether by changing the frame of government, by aggravating or softening the severity of the penal code, or by substituting a government created for a God-created religion, - in all these attempts, the infantile and youthful mind, its amenability to influences, and the enduring and self-operating character of the influences it receives, has been almost wholly unrecognized. Here, then, is a new agency, whose powers are but just beginning to be understood, and whose mighty energies hitherto have been but feebly invoked; and yet, from our experience, limited and imperfect as it is, we do know that, far beyond any other earthy instrumentality, it is comprehensive and…

    “ Why do you act like this?” Ming asked Khumba. “Like what?” he replied. “You’re always acting rude and bringing up someone’s flaws.” Ming stated. “I don’t do that. Even if I did, why do you care?” he responded with a disgusted facial expression. “I don’t, but you should. If you continue to treat people like this it’s going to be hard to make new friends. You might even lose the few you have now.” Ming suggested. “Whatever!”Khumba said, slamming his locker aggressively.…

    Jonathan Kozol talks about the observations and conversations that he had with students and teachers while visiting Freemont High School. Kozol explains that Freemont High School is a dilapidated facility where “the average ninth grade student reads at fourth or fifth grade level” (705). Kozol then went on about a conversation that he was having with a group of students when one in particular, Mireya, began complaining that she did not want to be forced to take classes that she felt would have no impact on her education or future. Mireya made her point very clear when she said, “I did not need sewing either. I knew how to sew. My mother is a seamstress in a factory. I’m…

The Invasion of Ethiopia by the fascist leader Benito Mussolini was one of “the greatest colonial wars ever fought on the African continent,” paving the way for this five year occupation a “turning point in the country’s millennium-old history”. In fact it could even be considered the dark ages of Ethiopian education as all existing attempts to modern education came to a complete standstill, in short it was a negative period in the history of Ethiopian education. Overall the educational policies that were instilled during this time had a considerable social impact on the Ethiopian population and in some ways are the foundations of the educational structure we have today.…
